(INDL4NRIyER) SOIL & WATER CONSERVATIONDISTRICTAND YOUTH <br /> GUIDANCE - FUNDING STRUCTURE <br /> Administrator Baird recapped the memorandum of October 8 , 2012, providing background <br /> and analysis on staff' s proposal to change the funding and management structure for the County ' s <br /> last two component agencies, the Indian River Soil & Water Conservation District (IRSWCD) and <br /> Youth Guidance . He stated that based on a past incident when the County ' s financial rating was <br /> nearly jeopardized by accounting issues related to the Housing Authority (formerly a component <br /> unit of the County - independent since July 1, 2011 ), staff' s recommendation is to remove <br /> IRSWCD and Youth Guidance from the County payroll, and provide them with an allocation of <br /> $47, 847, and $ 66, 111 , respectively. He related that there has been confusion as far as <br /> administrative oversight of the employees, and affirmed that it is in the County ' s best interest to <br /> separate the two agencies from the County and fund them as stand-alone independent entities . <br /> Administrator Baird noted that the funding currently goes through Sept 30, 2013 , with no funding <br /> guarantees for either agency after that date . <br /> David Gunther, President of the Board of Supervisors, IRSWCD, elaborated on his <br /> request for the Commissioners to postpone their decision for 30 days, so his agency and County <br /> staff can see if there is a way for the IRSWCD to remain a County department without putting the <br /> County at risk. <br /> ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by <br /> Commissioner Flescher, the Board unanimously : ( 1 ) <br /> approved to provide funding to the Youth Guidance <br /> Department as an outside agency in the amount of $ 66, 111 , <br /> 43 PG 05 <br /> October 16, 2012 11 <br />
